"A new book on the shelf is the Chevy Small-Block V-8 Interchange Manual. This second edition (this time there's the Vortec, LT1, and LT4, too) has nearly everything you want to know about the engine, covering 1968 to 2001, including 25,000 part numbers, tons of technical info, and thankfully, date cataloging, which elimanates the headache of having to do that horrid task youself. If you're a diagram and chart nerd, this will be good for you. Unique patterns are shown, clearances are covered, and there's even a history lesson. Between this book and every issue of CC, you have zero excuse for performance woes."—"A Must-Read Not Endorsed by Oprah," Car Craft, October 2009

5/13/2009 -  "It's a must-have book, no matter what your particular auto passion is. Written by Darwin Holmstrom with photography by David Newhardt, GTO: Pontiac's Great One is the definitive record of how the legendary Pontiac GTO came about, complete with anecdotes by the people who were there and who made it happen. Holmstrom's entertaining, informative and appropriately irreverent writing style captures GM's "maverick" division well and gives one of the all-time great American cars ever built its proper due, and David Newhardt's beautiful images of famous GTOs completes the impact of the book." –Peter M. De Lorenzo, autoextremist.com

4/26/2009 -  A new review of Hurricane!: The Bob Hannah Story. "A comprehensive book about the life and career of the legendary and enigmatic Bob Hannah is a welcome addition to moto literature. It's been 20 years since Hannah raced and longer since he was at the top of his game. Hannah's longtime friend Tom Madigan is the author, and he did an excellent job of pulling together interviews with key friends and associates. The range of photos gathered and people involved is really amazing, and it makes for a very interesting read." –dirtrider.com

3/27/2009 - “Barris, Cars of the Stars is a must have for anyone who enjoys custom cars, movie stars, Hollywood or just plain George. Four out of five stars, no pun intended.” – David Granger, guildclassiccars.com

3/27/2009 - “From the day that Barris was approached by the star to the day the car was finished, this book highlights the entire collaboration between each star and Barris, as well as the friendships that developed.” – Hotrod & Restoration reviewing Barris, Cars of the Stars

3/27/2009 - “This book is a neat reference material for any owner of an aging muscle car or hot rod. We think the perfect owner of this book would be the car enthusiast who has just purchased a project car or even a completed driver and has not been turning wrenches for a while and may need to dust up on a few things, or just the enthusiast who drives the wheels of his or her hot rod and needs to keep it maintained. If you are an enthusiast who loves to tinker and improve your junk like most of us are, we’d recommend putting this on your shelf and pulling it out the next time you are going to wrench on your car. It’s all about the fundamentals!” - Brian Lohnes, bangshift.com reviewing How to Keep Your Muscle Car Alive

3/27/2009 - “Arneson has a great and rare gift among biographers; the ability to know when to let his subject’s story tell itself. And he has an even rarer gift: a subject whose life was interesting enough to stand on its own. Of course, Mickey’s friends and family are along for the ride too. Arneson performed extensive interviews with the people who knew Mickey, his family, his friends, his co-workers, his employees, even his rivals, and the result is a picture of a man who could have made his impact in any field that captured his attention.” - Clifford Tunnell, dragracingonline.com reviewing Mickey Thompson: The Fast Life and Tragic Death of a Racing Legend

3/27/2009 - “…it is the best book written about garden tractors to date.

3/3/2009 - LegendaryCollectorCars.com praised Camaro Forty Years saying, “It is a combination coffee table book with wonderful David Newhardt photos with great historical info on the Camaro. Although most of us will want to focus on the early 1967-1969 years of the Camaro the book does a thorough review of all years of Camaro including the smog sleds and the new Camaro that hasn’t even been sold yet. I usually spend most of my time with such books looking at the photos and reading the captions. This was still a highlight of this book for me but the text has a way of sucking you in. I thought I knew a lot about these cars until I read this book. It is both entertaining and informative. Holmstrom even gets into the rare cars and engines often overlooked in such books.”

3/3/2009 - Cars and Parts praised The Complete Book of Classic GM Muscle saying, “What do you get when you combine fine-art quality photographs of some of the finest General Motors built musclecars on the planet with informative, concise test, the editorial expertise of the Motorbooks staff, the professionalism of a 17-year veteran of photojournalism, and numerous historic photographs? The answer is The Complete Book of Classic GM Muscle, a stunning photo essay profiling more than 20 years asphalt-scorching, style-leading modern classics produced by the American icon that is General Motors. While this book will definitely class up any coffer table, it is much, much more. It is also a valuable reference book and monument to an era.” - Jim Hinckley, Cars and Parts

2/4/2009 - National Speed Sports News praised Mickey Thompson: The Fast Life and Tragic Death of a Racing Legend saying, “Another Five Star, can't miss book for racing fans, and everyone, actually. Arneson's style of writing will pull you in to this interesting story of one of racing's true "marathon man" heroes. Mickey could do it all, and until his untimely murder, was heralded as a great racer, builder and promoter. Be it Funny Cars, Indy Cars, Land Speed Records and everything in between, Thompson was on top of his game. Your emotions will be on a roller coaster with this book, so get ready when you start reading. You won't be able to put it down.” - Greg Zyla, National Speed Sports News

2/2/2009 - “Bob Hannah fans who rejoiced at the excellent episode of The Motocross Files dedicated to him won’t want to miss this book. Hurricane! chronicles the life and times of one of the greatest American motocross heroes of all time, with explicit detail and excellent photography. It’s clear that the author has a close relationship with the subject, and that appears to have resulted in unparalleled access to the reclusive Hannah’s life story.” – Bryan Stealey, Racer X Illustrated Dec. '08
